=====================================

Lux's P.O.V.

I leaned against the wall and made myself stand up again. I looked at the hinges of the door and saw them a bit loose. Good, means it was working. I forced myself away from the door, ignoring the pain that was going through my body and threw myself at it again. it shook but remained still and I groaned.

Just a few more tries I told myself but before I could make an effort to get up again the door opened and Melissa came in. 

"Lux" she said as she knelt and undid the rope at my feet and hands "Put this on. you're pack is attacking you need to run"

She handed me a huge shirt and I immediately put it on, it was long so it reached my knees. I winced as it stuck to my back, I knew the whip marks would be a bit infected now, making the pain worse. I looked at Melissa and saw her avoiding my gaze

"you know I don't hate you right?" I said and she finally looked at me "I mean you could have told me and I would have helped but...I don't blame you"

"I'm sorry Lux I-" she said as tears filled her eyes "I just couldn't stand him getting hurt again they tortured him in front of me"

"It's okay" I said and got up "Now go get Vick and get as far away from here as possible okay?" She looked hesitant but I gave her a pointed look and she nodded "Okay Go"

She gave me a knife "Robinson has your gun, the one you gave me so be careful" and then she left. I took a deep breath and put the knife in the edge of my panties, against my skin. What?! it's not like I had anywhere else to put it. 

I got out and froze at the sight in front of me. Wolves were everywhere fighting and growling. Dead bodies scattered on the floor and I felt fear hit me as I looked at them, praying i wouldn't see anyone I know.

I sighed in relief when I didn't see anyone familiar among them. I heard a sound and immediately threw myself onto the ground as a wolf sailed above me, he landed in front of me and growled. I smirked, he probably thought I was an easy target considering how injured I was. he lunged at me and I was quick to dodge him, punching him in the face and sending him to the ground.

I grabbed him before he could get up again and snapped his neck, his body instantly going limp. I dropped him as he turned back to his dead human form and didn't look at him, I couldn't. I looked at the wolves fighting and finally found the person I wanted.

Robinson was away from the fight, hiding like the coward he was and I went towards him till I ended up behind him.

"Hiding out are we?" I said and he turned around shocked "Surprised I got out?"

"surprised you can stand" he said smirking "How's the back?"

"perfect actually" I lied as the mention of the wounds on my back made them ache more. "What did you expect?"

"I expected to kill you anyways" he said shrugging "Didn't expect it to be this soon though" he immediately had me pinned to the tree behind me and I smirked, ignoring the way my back burned, I felt my wounds start bleeding again.

before he could register I turned around and threw him onto the ground "Well that was a cheap shot" I said "and a huge fail"

He growled and lunged at me again but I dodged him in time to avoid as tried to pierce my chest with his claws. Damn he was fast.

When he lunged at me this time i was fast and kicked him in the stomach, making him fall to the floor. He got up growling, his eyes turning black as he started to shake and then he turned to his wolf form and ran towards me.

I immediately jumped, grabbing a tree branch and swinging myself till I landed on it. i looked down at him and smiled "Attacking me in wolf form when I can't change? Expected of you Robinson" I teased and then jumped, spinning in the air and landing on his back.

I fought as a wave of dizziness swept over me and clutched to his fur. Damn it the loss of blood was starting to affect me. Robinson started struggling trying to throw me off of him but I just laughed. He finally ran and slammed his side into a tree, throwing me off of him.

I fell to the ground and then found him on top of me in human form, clutching my hands over my head.

"I offered you to join me Lux" he said "I gave you a chance but you didn't take it. Now where's your pack to help you huh? Where are they when you're going to die alone" He punched me in the stomach as hard as he could "i've been waiting to do this for a while."

before he could strike i kicked him where the sun don't shine and threw him off me, he landed on his back and I straddled him, grabbing the knife and placing it right over his chest. It's sharp edge right above his heart. the only way a regular knife would kill a wolf.

I looked at him in the eye, panting "I told you I'd be the one to kill you" I said before plunging the knife into his chest. I didn't look at him and got up, stumbling and getting dizzy.

"Lux?" I heard a voice behind me say and I smiled, I'd know that voice anywhere.

"Damon" I whispered and turned around.

Damon's P.O.V.

I saw her as she got up from a rogues body after stabbing him, she stumbled a bit and her shirt was stained with blood. I felt rage fill me at the thought of her being so injured

"Lux?" 

"Damon" she whispered making my heart soar at the sound of my name on her lips. She turned and I just stared at her. God I missed her, she was as beautiful as ever. her eyes shining, her lips curved into a smile.

And then I really saw her; Sweat covered her forehead, and dark circles were under her eyes. One of her cheeks was slightly bruised and the other had a long gash from the bottom of her ear to her chin.

"Damon" she repeated louder and stumbled towards me. I grinned about to take her in my arms when a shot rang in the air.

Lux froze where she stood, her eyes wide and lips slightly parted. She put her hand on her stomach and then stared at the blood pouring out. Her eyes started to flutter "Damon" she said weakly before she fell. I immediately caught her, still in shock and looked behind me from where the sound came and saw the man Lux stabbed earlier was clutching his chest, that was spurting blood, before he fell to the ground. Dead.

"Lux?" I asked as I turned to her "Can you hear me?"

"Damon" She said but coughed out blood and I immediately turned her to the side so she woudln't choke on it. I felt fear grip me. "You-You"

"What?"

"Take the bullet...out" she managed to choke out "it-it's one of" she coughed "Mine"

I felt my face go pale, if the one he shot her with was anywhere close to the one she told me about last time then...

"How?"

"Knife" she muttered pointing behind me. I looked and found a knife beside the dead body, the one she used "Make....a...c-cut and...t-take it...out"

I looked at her horrified at the thought but she was writhing in pain on the floor so with inhuman speed I grabbed the knife and got back to her.

I looked at her and she tried to smile at me, to reassure me but I saw her wince, she was in pain.

My hands shook as I put the knife on the edge of her stomach. I forced them to still and started making a cut. Lux stiffened and I looked up to see her tugging at her hair and clenching her teeth from the pain.

When the cut was made I looked at her and she nodded to me "h-hurry" I gulped and felt my eyes sting but forced myself to focus. I opened her cut a bit and she made a sound at the back of her throat and it killed me to hear her.

Blood was everywhere and i tried to see the bullet. When I finally saw it I used the knife and took it out. I immediately tore a piece of my shorts and put it against her stomach to stop the bleeding.

Lux saw the bullet in my hand and groaned "Damn" she said 

"It'll be okay Lux" I said "I'm gonna take you to the pack doctor just-"

"D-damon" she said "i-it's too late."

"What?" I asked as I felt my heart drop "n-no it's not Lux just hang on" i motioned to carry her but she put a hand on my arm.

"Listen" she said and then let out a yelp of pain "It's already in my blood Damon. and I-" She groaned, closing her eyes tightly "I made these b-bullets so no one w-would...be able...t-to live...after" She took a deep breath and then reached to her stomach.

"Well you'll be an exception" I said and carried her. I started running as she kept writhing in pain in my arms.

"D-damon" she said "L-look at me" I looked at her and she reached a hand and put it against my cheek "s-stop and l-look at me...please. f-for me" I stopped, unable to say no to her and looked down at her "I-I'm sorry"

"you don'thave anything to be sorry about" I said, my eyes were stinging with suppressed tears. Damn it I needed to focus

"y-yes I d-do" she said "I...I s-should have known y-you wouldn't...." She groaned and I looked at her, pained to see her in so much agony "h-hurt me again."

"Shhh" I said as my eyes watered "it's.." I cleared my throat after my voice turned out hoarse "It's okay"

"I-I was just" she said "I was scared" Tears escaped her eyes and I hastily shifted her weight to one hand and used the other to wipe them "I-I didn't b-believe I'd be...able to b-be with you" she coughed a bit and seemed to be gasping for air and I clenched my teeth as my lip trembled "T-too good...to be t-true"

"You're too good to be true" I said caressing her face "You're perfect Lux" Tears fell from my eyes and landed on her cheeks "And you're going to be okay"

"Damon" she said "I-it's too late"

"Don't say that" I said determined "Don't you dare give up on me Lux." The tears fell freely from my eyes and my chest tightened, my wolf howling in agony. "Do you hear me? D-don't you dare give up. Y-you're going to be fine." I looked down at her "I-I can't live without you L-lux, please. Tell me you're not giving up"

She nodded after a while of silence "I'm not" she said and I nodded wiping away my tears

"Good" I said, my voice shaky "Now hold onto me okay?" she nodded and I ran as fast as I could

She's with me I told my pack through the mind link I'm taking her to the pack doctor

Is she okay? Jason asked and I looked down at her to find her head buried in my chest.

No...she... just...what's your status?

The rogues retreated Jared said No one's here anymore 

We're behind you Jason added and I looked behind me to see Jason, Jared and the other guys running behind me. Soon they reached me and formed a protective circle to protect Lux.

Oh my god Taylor said w-what the hell happened? Why is she bleeding so much?

That asshole shot her I said Using her bullets

WHAT?! Taylor said Please tell me not the bullets she showed me?

What do they do taylor? I asked, I needed to know what she was going through 

S-she said that you'd go unconscious for days and then....and then be in terrible pain as each organ fails before you...before you die.

NO! I heard the twins scream

I froze in my tracks and stared at Taylor's wolf, then turned my gaze to Lux. She lifted her head and looked at me before noticing the wolves around her. She managed a weak smile 

"hey guys" she said weakly and reached a hand out. Chase walked towards her and she petted him, he whined and she smiled "I w-wish I could...hear you" she shook her head "Stupid Lycotine"

The twins whined and Lux looked at them "hey hey what's with the long faces?" she chuckled at her joke "your wolves not horses" Jason rolled his eyes at her weak attempt and she smiled "k-knew you'd d-do...that...Jason" she turned to me "I-I'm feeling sleepy" she said

"Don't fall asleep lux" I said as I started running again "Stay awake" But she didn't, instead she closed her eyes and went limp.

"Damn it" I said as I picked up my pace. I saw the pack house and ran towards it. Ren was immediately at the door and sighed when she saw Jason's wolf but then her eyes fell on me and she gasped 

"MOM" she yelled and her mom appeared next to her "Take her to mom's office"

I nodded and ran to the office, placing Lux on the bed and looking around at the room that resembled a hospital room.

Ren's mom, Miranda, came in and ran over to Lux; checking her pulse and taking away the fabric on her stomach 

"What the hell?" she screamed "Who did this" she pointed at the cut

"I did, I took the bullet out" I said "it's one of her bullets" I explained to her what it does. She seemed in shock and looked back at Lux.

"Okay, call Ren I'm going to need her help and get out of the room" she said pushing me away.

"NO" I screamed, I wanted to be near my mate, I wanted to see her. "I'm not leaving"

"Look you have to, you're not going to like what I'm going to do and your instincts will be to kill me for hurting her."

"But-" I started but a hand came down on my shoulder and I turned and saw Jason 

"Come on, she's right. It's better for Lux" 

I looked at my mate, on the bed as Miranda worked on her and sighed before nodding. I got out and leaned on the wall, sliding to the ground with my face in my hands.

"please" I mumbled "Please let her be okay"
